College Football Playoff 12-Team Projections After Week 4

Following the conclusion of the fourth week of the 2026 college football schedule, updated postseason projections place Texas, Georgia, and Notre Dame as the leading three seeds in the twelve-team bracket. Florida surged into the top ten following a definitive 52-28 triumph against Ole Miss, helping the Southeastern Conference secure six projected spots in the final field.

Meanwhile, Indiana maintained its status as the forecasted Big Ten champion despite a narrow 29-23 struggle against Northwestern. Further down the projected rankings, Miami holds the position for the ACC, Texas Tech is currently slated to represent the Big 12 as champion, and Boise State leads the Group of Six contenders.

The opening round of matchups is scheduled to take place at the home venues of the higher-seeded programs before shifting to traditional bowl or neutral locations for the quarterfinal stage and beyond.
